This is the main repo for did:plc. The important section of the README is "Key Rotation and Account Recovery": https://github.com/did-method-plc/did-method-plc

This is a tool that allows you to create new recovery keys: https://github.com/renahlee/manual

Post about said tool: https://bsky.app/profile/renahlee.com/post/3lcbnab6rl22h

An article on how to do this manually: https://whtwnd.com/fei.chicory.blue/entries/How%20to%20get%2...

It's generally pretty sparse docs because everything is fairly "beta" still and because it is cryptography if you fuck it up you permanently lose control over your account forever. This is one of the reasons they don't advertise non-custodial recovery keys super aggressively.

And the protocol that is used for maintaining a ledger of key changes isn't exactly ideal or to my knowledge final but rather is in a "it's good enough until we douse the other fires" state.




Thank you very much!
